As Europe's leading hosting provider and a pioneer in independent cloud solutions, we are building next-generation infrastructure - from sovereign cloud architectures and high-performance GPU clusters to integrated AI automation tools.\nWhat drives us is digital sovereignty for Europe and real impact for small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) as well as large enterprises. We work in agile teams, rely on transparent structures, and believe that excellence and innovation only emerge through true team spirit.\nReady for your next step? Become part of IONOS and grow with us.\nOur Object Storage platform runs on Ceph, spans multiple data centers, and holds double-digit petabytes of customer data. It is growing fast. We are looking for a staff-level engineer who knows Ceph, Linux and the network underneath it well enough to keep it healthy as it scales.\nWe follow a \"you build it, you run it\" model. You will deploy, operate and improve the platform with the Network, SRE, Data Center and infrastructure support teams. A separate development team works on the product, and you will work closely with them.\nYour tasks\nOwn the reliability, performance and capacity of our production Ceph clusters across locations\nSolid understanding of server hardware (disks, controllers, NICs) and how it affects storage performance, so you can diagnose hardware-related issues remotely\nDiagnose the hardest issues across the full stack, from disk and server through the Linux network stack to the Ceph service, and lead incident response and postmortems\nAutomate deployments, upgrades and routine operations (Ansible) so they need less manual work\nBuild monitoring and observability that catch problems before customers do\nPlan capacity and growth with the Data Center and Network teams\nTake part in the on-call rotation\nFollow Ceph releases and the community, and bring useful practices back to the team\nYour profile\n5+ years as an SRE, Linux or storage engineer, with proven experience running Ceph in production (the more petabytes the better;
